MY THOUGHTS

I love survival horror games. I had heard of this game for a while now and I admit that I have been wanting to play it ever since I heard about it.I kept hearing how scary this will be and I am one who don't really get scared easily when I play horror games or when watching horror movies so I was skeptical. As soon as this games was done downloading on my PS4 i couldn't wait to play and I wanted the full "scare" effect so I made sure I had my headphones on and the lights were turned off. Slender:The Arrival has decent graphics . The audio is fantastic especially if you were headphones while you play this game.It isn't the best survival horror game I have played but it isn't the worst either. It isn't the scariest either but like I said before it does take me a lot to scare me when it comes to video games and movies but I know a few people who have played it and said it is scary. I give this 3 1/2 out of 5 If you want to purchase this game it is now available on PS4 and Xbox One.
